This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Moderate — a form and supporting documents.
This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Germany.
Who can apply
- micro enterprises
- Stage: idea stage, pre-seed and seed
- Locally registered entity required
Target groups qualifying for the higher €150,000 ceiling include businesses founded by unemployed people, companies led by women or people with a migration background, socially oriented enterprises and ecologically sustainable businesses. Granted as de minimis aid.
